Another fun but annoying trick that is gender related is when your wife or girlfriend uses your razor on her legs and doesn't tell you until she hears you screaming as the whiskers are being pulled out of your face one at a time by the mysteriously dull blade.
I like most women have my own razor. Are you sure you didn't just pick up the wrong one? Or forget to change the blade?

I don't mind them either Wolfhowls, though you seem to have dropped me from your list. The first few puzzled me, but I'm over that now. ;D At least you can't actually drop in on me, but PMs are OK. ;D  ;)

Calendar Event Discussion / Re: Is Jim ever likely to visit the UK?
« on: January 04, 2008, 05:33:46 PM »
I imagine he will eventually, but if so, it won't be in 2008.

Collectormania is in the first week of May usually. James Marsters is coming this year, if both James and Jim came one year that would be fantastic. 2009 would be good Priscellie. Pretty please.

Author Craft / Re: Lead as a anti-'spooky' ammunition

Not that I'm aware of.  Silver (for werewolves) & cold iron (for Sidhe) are the usual culprits.

Lead works great on Daxamites, though. :)

Lead neutralising Krytonite doesn't really count either does it? Though Superman is kinda supernatural. ??? ;D Well he certainly isn't human is he?
But lead is poisonous to most Earthly creatures, it might be poisonous to otherworldly creatures with Earthly links?

I've just been sneaking around, if I can't get in one way I try a back door so to speak. The computers at work get one used to tryig less obviously orthodox ways of solving problems. ;D

Ive been having that problem but tried some other sites then came back and lo and behold I found this thread through unread topics when the board finally deigned to let me in. ;D
I hope it doesn't break again - I'm not in the mood!

ETA
And now I can't get in again. Oh well I guess I'll try again tomorrow!

DF TV Series / Re: POLL: End Game Opinion of the Series
« on: September 23, 2007, 10:48:32 PM »
I enjoyed the series, though I would have appreciated more resemblence to the books. I'm looking forward to finding the time to watch the DVD and catch up on the episodes that I missed the first time round.
I really wish the show had been kept on for another season/series, but life sucks sometimes... :(

I don't know if this will help Lord Nedd, but if you go into your profile and click on "view stats" that might give you the information that you require. I can't access the site from another window to check, so I fear this site may be going down as I post.

well you've never told us im pretty sure you want to keep it secret which is fine but until you do for the sake of saving letters he it is ;) :P
I think if neurovore says
Quote
*sigh* One more time: neurovore is not a "he".
until someone can provide a viable alternative I'll assume the person writing is female. ie Fade a "SHE". Of course in the US I suppose there might be people who are not "he's" or "she's", but I haven't heard of them. Unless you are refering to hermaphrodites or people who have been sterilised?
Usually when there is a choice of two characteristics and only two, if the choice is not one of them it must by default be the other option.
Perhaps neurovore would like to confirm whether or not my logic is at fault.

I also think there's the extraversion/introversion dynamic at play.  My husband and I both work, but he wants to talk about his day; I'm done by the time I get home.  The most annoying part is that he tends to want to talk when I'm reading a book, versus at bedtime (I could handle that).  Yes, I've had to put down Dresden books to speak to my husband.  Can you imagine??? ;)
My husband is a bit like that, though he doesn't want to talk about his day, it's about the War in Iraq, the Bombings, philosophy etc. He never wants to talk when he's watching a TV programme or reading a book, only when I am. You see the things he's interested in are important!!
I will stop watching the TV to talk to him, but if I MUST stop reading a book it's only when I've got to the end of the chapter(or if I forget sometimes the one after that) ;).
Oh, and thank you meg_evonne for your kind words. I think it's neurovore by the way. :)
13x13 it is a woman's duty to never let a man forget when he has annoyed her, the idea is if we remind you of it just before you go to sleep you won't forget your transgression.
I don't know why we bother though, it NEVER works. :D

ETA When I said IT was neurovore I was refering to the screen name not the person. :-[

I know this thread is for guys and clever women, but what if you're a woman and NOT clever? Aren't I allowed in? ;)

Didn't know it would bother me so much to see a young woman Secret Service agent non-stop scouting the crowd.  I've seen the men all the time, but to see a young woman my daughter's age right by them both and to think she would take a bullet.  Ah, it sent my heart into my throat.

I'm old enough to have toured the FBI headquarters in Washington DC (age 10 maybe) and after getting excited about how cool all this was, at the end of the tour they informed everyone that women were NOT accepted.  Thank God that changed, but still to see someone's daughter out there in front of a crowd that wasn't prepped through any metal detectors, no background checks or anything..... 

No way would I hold her back, but I wouldn't sleep well at night if my daughter signed up.   :-\


I fell the same about this as I do about the military, why would I be more frightened that my daughters would get hurt than I would if they were sons? The dangers aren't that much different. Are they? And dead is dead whichever sex you were.
I admit I wouldn't really be keen on my daughters joining MI5 or MI6, not that either of their careers seem to be going that way (as far as I can tell ;D). My eldest is a Civil Servant in Whitehall, and she did goto Cambridge which used to be the usual place to recruit spies. I don't think I'll ask her about though. She's deny it anyway. Right? ;) ;D

This is going to sound odd, but my gf says that coffee speeds up her period, is it true?
Err, no, but it's as good a theory as the if "you drink Gin and Tonic you'll bring on a late period" idea.
Well actually I guess they both work, but onlty if it was going to happen anyway, it can be a good excuse for a couple of G & Ts though ;).

PS I was VERY confused for a minute to see a song supporting a cathedral in France, I had to read two more posts to find out that it is (I presume) an American Football team. (I doubt if it's a REAL football team, you know what the US and Canada calls soccer. ;D)

ETA Yes meg_evonne  we have Starbucks in England, infact there's a new one just opened in Coventry city centre where I live. I don't need PMS/T to get a craving for chocolate, besides I'm rather hoping I'm passed PMS/T now. Yes coffe/chocolate or any craving might be a symptom but not a cure for PMS/T. Nice idea though, curing PMS/T with chocolate. ;) ;D

I'll echo Hope's concerns/suggestions.  I've been around awhile now, but still can't get the "Quote" to do it's thing.  It wants to capture the whole comments rather than the section I want.  I tried highlighting and then clicking quote.  That seemed the most logical, but it transferred all.  Maybe you transfer it all and THEN go back and delete the parts you don't want to quote? Yet, you guys are so slick, I suspect there is a completely simple way of doing it.

Have the craziest feeling that I would love the RPG thing....but that's so far over my head I may never get into it.  Think someone would "bus" us newbies in together for a tour or something?
Firstly that's exactly how I do the quote thing, quoting twice is the problem, but I just open another window and cut and paste.
Re the RPG thing, I'm interested but I fear it's addictive and I can do Role Playing in my imagination anyway. Though I suspect my RP is more character driven than any game.

I come here for the discussion about "Jim Butcher and things his fans think are cool".

I'm sure that there are plenty of other places where people can go talk about religion & politics.
Firstly it would seem that some of Jim's fans do think about religion & politics.
Secondly, most of the forums I've seen ban the discussion of religion and politics.
Thirdly I can I find out what people on the other side of the world think, or eventually get to find out just what the difference between Republicans and Democrats is. I don't agree with all I read, but at least I can sometimes see where the ideas are coming from.
Thank you Buttersfly, (As a child I call butterflys, Flutterbys, so ever time my eyes see your screen name part of my brain scrambles it. ;D )
